She taps her pencil in anticipation
The clock mocking her existence with it's slow ticks
Bullets of sweat roll down her forehead, the suspense nagging at her soul
Just five more minutes of class...
The teacher's babble about some topic of history has no importance to her
She just watches the clock tick away every second of her life that doesn't count
Eyes glued wide to that damned clock
Only four more minutes of class...
Her best friend's head slumped against the desk beside her in peaceful slumber
Totally unaware that the class was over soon
But yet she paid no mind to him for she only watched time pass ever so slowly
Only three more minutes of class...
She feels as if her heart is about to flee from her chest in an epic attempt to escape
Her mind clouded with the sweet thoughts about after the nightmare of school
Her left hand griped the desk, her white knuckles display her anxiousness
Only two more minutes left of class...
Time seemed to slow down
Her hopes and dreams soon to come true
A smile soon plastered upon her glistening face
Only one minute left of class...
The second hand nearly there, taking it's good ol' time
She watched ever so closely at it's feeble attempts to slow down
Three... two... one...
Zero minutes left of class...
She sprung from her desk, joy overwhelmed her body
Glee glowed from her smile
She was so relieved, never has she ever felt so alive when she left the school
After just five minutes of class...
